Product Overview

VIOKASE-V is raw, activated, whole pancreas. It is a pancreatic enzyme concentrate with porcine origins, containing elastase, nucleases, peptidases, lipase and protease plus esterases, and standardized amylase.
Viokase-V (pancreatic enzymes) is used to improve food digestion in dogs and cats who cannot digest food properly due to pancreatic insufficiency associated with Cystic Fibrosis, pancreatitis, post-gastrectomy, post-cholecystectomy, post-pancreatectomy or maldigestion syndrome.
For use in cats and dogs.
Features of Viokase:
  • Effective therapy for replacement of enzymes
  • Easy to administer in food
  • Useful in treating maldigestion syndrome or pancreatic insufficiency
  • Helps in digestion and absorbs carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
Viokase is a combination of digestive enzymes. It helps the body in the digestion of fat, starch, and protein. It is prescribed for pets whose enzymes are not naturally produced or are produced in insufficient quantities.
High doses of Viokase could cause gastrointestinal distress, including:
  • Nausea
  • Cramping
  • Diarrhea
  • Esophageal or oral ulcers could result from concentrated pancreatic enzymes. Dosing should be followed with water or food.
  • After receiving pancrelipase, oral bleeding has been reported in some dogs (Rutz et al. 2002). Reducing the dose and moistening the pancreatic powder and food mix could reduce the risk of this side effect.
VIOKASE-V is activated whole raw pancreas; a pancreatic enzyme concentrate of porcine origin containing standardized amylase, protease and lipase activities plus esterases, peptidases, nucleases and elastase.
Contact your closest emergency pet hospital.
If your pet exhibits sensitivity symptoms, terminate use.
Sold in 4, 8, and 12 oz bottles.
Zoetis
Viokase is an effective treatment for acute pancreatic disorders. It is also an effective therapy for chronic digestive issues or pancreatic disorders. In cases of chronic pancreatitis, replacement therapy may be administered for the duration of your pet's life.
The VIOKASE-V tablets are administered before each meal. VIOKASE-V powder is added to moistened dog food (canned or dry). Thorough mixing is necessary to bring the enzymes into close contact with the food particles. Incubation at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before feeding appears to enhance the digestive process. Frequent feeding, at least 3 times daily, is important.
Dogs: 2-3 tablets or 3/4-1 teaspoonful (2.8 g/teaspoonful) with each meal. Cats: 1/2-1 tablet or 1/4-3/4 teaspoonful (2.8 g/teaspoonful) with each meal.
NOTE: No one regimen will be successful for every patient. The above dosage should be adjusted according to the severity of the pancreatic exocrine deficiency and weight of the animal. In cases of chronic insufficiency, the dosage should be increased until desired results are obtained.
Each tablet contains sufficient pancreatic enzymes to digest (in vitro): 33 g fat, 57 g protein, 64 g starch.
Each 2.8 grams (1 teaspoonful) contains sufficient pancreatic enzymes to digest (in vitro): 260 g fat, 388 g protein, 460 g starch.

My 13 year old Min Pin was diagnosed with EPI and prescribed Viokase-V. It has worked very well for him. It is very expensive but I feel it is worth the cost in comparison to what we were dealing with before he began using it.

Our dog has a pancreatic deficiency and without this medicine he isn't able to digest his food. This medicine has saved our dogs life and made him into a very happy dog. Every evening he looks forward to his medicine!

EPI was completely resolved using this powder. Very expensive but works. Im a little wary of the generic version but may try it to see if it's up to par.

This is the only thing that keeps my boy alive. I tried the generic version for the first couple years after his diagnosis, but we got a bad batch or two and he started exhibiting symptoms again. We switched back to the name brand Viokase and he put the weight right back on.

The medication is the only way that our dog can eat and digest food. It works wonderfully, I only wish that the cost of the medication would fall back below $200.

Purchased this product based on my vet's recommendation. Our petwas diagnosed with antibiotic responsive diarrhea with a low pancreatic enzyme level. We are testing this to see if this might help her. Delivery was fast and purchase was easy. If this works well, will definitely be re-ordering.
